Our symposium was not a stage for success narratives but for contradictions and illusions, obstacles and fears associated with sustainable action. We addressed them in a multi-perspective, discursive and interactive way. Everyone could feel that inter- and transdisciplinary experiences are borderline experiences, in finding roles and ways of working, communication and language, and in implementing ideas and insights. This is associated with uncertainty, ambiguity and disagreement, which require a holistic and equally sensitive approach to transitions and differentiation processes. With our symposium, we ventured into these border crossings. Everyone was a visible seeker, there were handshakes across disciplinary boundaries and shared stuttering. Making the blind spots visible also revealed that sustainability is not an abstract objective or method so much as a process for personal and existential maturation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present edition of Theo-Web documents an English-language symposium on the topic "Exploring and Engaging Ambiguity in Religious Education" at the last ISREV conference in Gothenburg. The thematic section discusses the significance of ambiguity in religious education and notes that many topics in religious instruction can challenge previous certainties. The edition also includes six contributions in the field of research and discourse that have successfully undergone the double-blind review process. In addition, reviews, a conference review, and conference announcements are presented. The edition was supervised by Karlo Meyer and supported by various contributors. [Extracted from the article]
